load/import

    use Alien::wxWidgets version          => 2.004 | [ 2.004, 2.005 ],
                         compiler_kind    => 'gcc' | 'cl', # Windows only
                         compiler_version => '3.3', # only GCC for now
                         toolkit          => 'gtk2',
                         debug            => 0 | 1,

    Alien::wxWidgets->load( <same as the above> );

Using "Alien::wxWidgets" without parameters will load a default configuration (for most people this will be the only installed confiuration). Additional parameters allow one to be more selective.

If there is no matching configuration the method will die().

In case no arguments are passed in the "use", "Alien::wxWidgets" will try to find a reasonable default configuration.

Please note that when the version is pecified as "version =" 2.004> it means "any version >= 2.004" while when specified as "version =" [ 2.004, 2.005 ]> it means "any version => 2.004 and < 2.005".

key

    my $key = Alien::wxWidgets key;

Returns an unique key that can be used to reload the currently-loaded configuration.

version

    my $version = Alien::wxWidgets->version;

Returns the wxWidgets version for this "Alien::wxWidgets" installation in the form MAJOR + MINOR / 1_000 + RELEASE / 1_000_000 e.g. 2.008012 for wxWidgets 2.8.12 and 2.009 for wxWidgets 2.9.0.

config

    my $config = Alien::wxWidgets->config;

Returns some miscellaneous configuration information for wxWidgets in the form

    { toolkit   => 'msw' | 'gtk' | 'motif' | 'x11' | 'cocoa' | 'mac',
      debug     => 1 | 0,
      unicode   => 1 | 0,
      mslu      => 1 | 0,
      }

include_path

    my $include_path = Alien::wxWidgets->include_path;

Returns the include paths to be used in a format suitable for the compiler (usually something like "-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/wx/include").

defines

    my $defines = Alien::wxWidgets->defines;

Returns the compiler defines to be used in a format suitable for the compiler (usually something like "-D__WXDEBUG__ -DFOO=bar").

c_flags

Returns additional compiler flags to be used.

compiler

    my $compiler = Alien::wxWidgets->compiler;

    my $linkflags = Alien::wxWidgets->link_flags;

Returns additional link flags.

libraries

    my $libraries = Alien::wxWidgets->libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );

Returns link flags for linking the libraries passed as arguments. This usually includes some search path specification in addition to the libraries themselves. The caller is responsible for the correct order of the libraries.

link_libraries

    my @libraries = Alien::wxWidgets->link_libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );

Returns a list of linker flags that can be used to link the libraries passed as arguments.

import_libraries

Windows specific. Returns a list of import libraries corresponding to the libraries passed as arguments.

shared_libraries

    my @shrlib = Alien::wxWidgets->shared_libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );

Returns a list of shared libraries corresponding to the libraries passed as arguments.

library_keys

    my @keys = Alien::wxWidgets->library_keys;

Returns a list of keys that can be passed to "shared_libraries", "import_libraries" and "link_libraries".

library_path

    my $library_path = Alien::wxWidgets->shared_library_path;

Windows specific. Returns the path at which the private copy of wxWidgets libraries has been installed.

prefix

    my $prefix = Alien::wxWidgets->prefix;

Returns the install prefix for wxWidgets.

dump_configurations

    Alien::wxWidgets->dump_configurations( %filters );

Prints a list of available configurations (mainly useful for interactive use/debugging).

show_configurations

    Alien::wxWidgets->show_configurations( %filters );

Prints a human-readable list of available configurations (mainly useful for interactive use/debugging).
